Abdulrahman Ghanem Abdulrahman Al Mutaiwee, Chairman of Dubai Investments, acknowledged that the group delivered a solid performance in 2025, supported by disciplined execution and a stable revenue base, with contributions across its diversified business segments, including real estate, financial investments and manufacturing. 

He noted that, in parallel, the group continues to invest selectively in defensive and essential sectors such as education, healthcare and hospitality, which provide portfolio resilience, recurring demand and long‑term stability, emphasising that diversification remains a core strength enabling Dubai Investments to navigate market cycles effectively while maintaining a clear focus on long‑term value creation.

Looking ahead, the Chairman stated that the group remains cautiously optimistic about 2026. While global economic conditions continue to present uncertainties, he highlighted that the UAE economy is expected to remain resilient. 

Supported by the group’s diversified portfolio of businesses, he affirmed that Dubai Investments is well positioned to navigate external challenges while remaining focused on sustainable and long‑term value creation.
